TMD warns of more rain and flash floods across upper Thailand

People in risk areas are urged to prepare for heavy rain, accumulated rainfall, flash floods and runoff, while boats should avoid storms.

  • The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has forecast more rain for upper Thailand, with heavy to very heavy showers expected in the upper North, upper Northeast, East, and the South's west coast.
  • Residents in these areas are warned to prepare for potential flash floods and runoff caused by the heavy and accumulated rainfall, especially near waterways and in low-lying zones.
  • The weather is attributed to a monsoon trough and a moderate southwest monsoon, which are also causing waves up to 2 meters or higher in the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand.

The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) said in its 24-hour weather forecast on Thursday (June 11, 2026) that upper Thailand would see more rain, with heavy rain in some areas and very heavy rain in parts of the upper North, upper Northeast, East and the South’s west coast.

The conditions were caused by a monsoon trough stretching across Myanmar and the upper North into a low-pressure area over the upper South China Sea, while a moderate southwest monsoon continued to cover the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand.

Wind and waves in the upper Andaman Sea were moderate, with waves around 2 metres high.

In the lower Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, waves were 1–2 metres high, rising above 2 metres in thunderstorm areas.

Boats in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand were advised to proceed with caution and avoid sailing in thunderstorm areas.
